Dental Veneers

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers, are wafer-thin shells made from either porcelain or a composite resin. They are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth and, accordingly, improve the appearance of tooth shape, colour, size and alignment.

Porcelain veneers

Provide a long lasting and life-like appearance.

Are fabricated in a dental laboratory (we only use Australian laboratories).

Composite resin veneers

The dentist places these directly onto your teeth.

They usually are not made in a laboratory, therefore, they will cost a fraction of the fee for a porcelain veneer.

When are dental veneers used?

Dental veneers can assist in creating a straight, symmetrical, white smile and are an ideal solution for people wanting to improve:

discoloured teeth due to;
– root canal treatment
– stains from tetracycline or other drugs
– excessive fluoride or the presence of large resin fillings

worn down teeth

chipped or broken teeth

misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth. Teeth can be aligned instantly rather than undergoing many months of Orthodontic treatment.

teeth with unsightly gaps between them
